The rich people don't pay tax. It's only people like my mother whose a judge who pays the high sum and what's the point? it's not like you're getting millions off her.
You should MAKE the rich pay tax first, not make them pay more tax.
How do you deal with the other kind of political apathy - 'I always voted at my party's call'? A performing monkey or even Gary Glitter or OJ Simpson would get elected in Barnsley if he stood for Labour - because people there ALWAYS vote Labour, even though they don't support the party's policies and don't know the candidates - usually up and coming career politicians 'parachuted' into the known safe seat. A recipe for eternal mistrust on all sides.
greens got in here and first thing they wanted to do is shut primary schools - just like the libs not so cuddly wuddly once they get the reality of power
Sounds like here in the U.S. - our Democrats are now acting like watered down Repugs. Goes to show that it doesn't matter which side you choose, we're all heading to the same destination. Better do as the N. Africans and Middle East are doing, revolt and remove all of these ghastly financial losers! Start with a new system that works. If you know anything about Capitalism, you'll know that it cannot work by it's very nature. We need new leadership, just as you do!
The man is a total KNOB! A half wit, New labour is better than no labour, the greens are just plain stupid! Climate change is something we should all be concerned with. What this cretin does not understand is, that we live in a democracy, which means that the greens stand no chance! If you vote tory then the green agenda is out the window! If you vote lib then you are tied to the tories.. Think about it? whos is left?
As a 25 year old proud Brit, after back-stab after back-stab by treacherous politicians who stink as bad as Satan's farts, I can guarantee that I will NEVER vote Tory, Labour or Lib Dem, EVER, and I will advise as many people as possible to do likewise. Sadly there isn't much sense out there, the BNP is worse than all of them put together, UKIP has a one-policy platform, the Socialist party are... well, socialists, and the Green party are eco-communists.
I would not vote for any of then its a vote fro the status quo, when are people going to realise that we the people are being stitched up and global warming is a scam.
New Labour r certainly not Tories wiv a small T. Fact, New Labour r so illiberal dey actually outdo d Tories on many Laws. U can cd Tories unstitching some of dare draconian Laws such as ID cards, d anti terrorists law like not being 'allowd' 2 photograph d Fuzz, State Data retention et al.
D Milliband brothers don't seem 2've learnt d lesson & it seems d Labour Party r about2 make d same mistake again. Cruddus is d only sain Labour leader & he's not even running 4 deputy leader.
@valma1208 A little contradictory, considering the rich got richer and poor got poorer under labour over the last 13 years. Who cares if Lib Dems don't have a track record of running the country, at least they haven't f*cked it up like the other two have!
@jinkedful Lefties survive because they are social creatures. It's the rightist that die out because of their violence and belief in the individual's selfishness all the way from Stalin to J Edgar Hoover and Adolf Hitler to Queen Victoria and Obama to Cameron. And if you want an argument as to why these people are Righists I can give it to you.
vote bnp wake up this country is falling to ts knees immigtants coming over and building communities and mosques its a joke imagin what would happen if we went over there and started knockin up butchers shops etc they wouldnt stand for it so why should we
@Accountgm do the math... by keeping the % the same for people with less money they won't be able to survive and sustain. Taxing rich people a higher but acceptable rate isn't going to even chip their wallet.
its not fair that only the three biggest parties get so much exposure. ill see if i can get a couple votes for the green party. i think most people dont even know about the green party's policies.
@imanglo Lol what is the point of voting Labour they are just the same as the Tories We are now in a much worse situation than the 1980,s & 90,s put together moreover look at what Labour have done 1) Lead us into illegal wars which is costing the taxpayer a fortune 2) Ban peaceful demonstration within 1 mile of West Minster 3) Ban photography in public places The list just goes on & on So you call that democracy & still think Labour are great?
Conservative are hypocrites and snobs, I know them very well. I don't know outside London but here in London there are places where they are allowed to go only. I will never ever vote for Tories. The kind of change Cameron wants to bring is like Obama's change of which we don't hear anything now. Labour is gaining support once again. Check today's news.
@ambientaylor What makes you think it is ? The climate was changing before man set foot on the planet. It is to do with the sun's relationship to Earth.
@mrgbennet well yes; climate changes all the time and yes our temperature can change with our relationship to the sun and yes the greenhouse gas carbon is naturally in the atmosphere of course, only this time there is a very strong correlation with us pumping huge amounts of it into the atmosphere and a rise in global average temperatures. Not to mention the huge increase of methane from cattle!
@imovertheocean He didn't say he did strictly speaking. I don't see why anyone wishes to ignore the possibility. If its wrong, never mind we get less pollution, less waste, less dependency on finite resources. If its right, we're buggered. Fighting enviromental policies is truly pointless, being green (small 'g') is win-win.
Had it all going for me in 98, just finished A level's and was made big promises by a bull shitting Governement. Ended up wasting my time at poly spanking lot's of tax payers and my parents money on a second rate degree that should of taken 3 months not three years and would not get me a Graduate job. Nice one blair let's widen access so the thick and the lazy (me) can fuck about when they should be working. They borrowed during the good times!!!
New Labour were always going to be tory with a small t although they were less xenophobic and elitist than the real Tory's, they even pay homage to that old witch Thatcher.
People have to vote though or spoil their ballots to get the message across and keep the BNP and conservatives out, unfortunately i have to do this because our voting system is crap and tends to favour the right wing and establishment.
I will be voting green even though i am an anarchist but i will wright my thoughts on it to
@timegrinder your welcome Tory boy, and i wont be voting this time, i,ll just write my thoughts on it, haven't you learnt anything from history the elite always win in this country at least
@womblefree well ul never change anything by not voting for it. The elites welcome to it, if they tax us less and stop the nanny statism then they get my vote. Thats all i want.
It has no atmosphere. Clearly the area surrounding where you live has a very thing one as well as you appear to have suffered some sort of brain damage, you poor dear.

I say let them be the first to give up life. let them move to china and have no children. let them lick their masters ar**s because it's all they are good for. jumped up swines. You want to be elite? you disgust me! GLOBAL WARMING MY ARSE !! EXPLAIN MARS WARMING THEN you liars.
'tax the rich people' lmao!

GREEN PARTY
we can tweak the minor principles when they're in power, because whoever gets in will have to bend to market forces.
At least this way, the PRIORITY will be in the right place.
And don't worry about them not getting in, there's no guarantee that whoever you pick will get in.
At least you won't be responsible for the planet getting fucked.

NONE of you - Labour, Tory or Liberal - care/know anything about US, the people.
You ALL subscribe to the MAIN agendas, such as the EU, mass immigration, and keeping us stupid with a crap education system.
